The Dynojet power vision is now available for the 2012s. i will be ordering one very soon.

My two cents also is not to ride the bike at all without some sort of fuel tuner. Some people will say your fine if you do just exhaust but the reality is that it does run lean and can cause damage. Ive seen it before. Adding an air cleaner only makes it worse. To me these bikes are a big investment and i wont risk it.

Okay so I talked to my dealer. Do I have to get dyno tuned or can I save money by doing all the work myself and installing the fuel Pak. The fuel pak will do everything I need it to? I don't wanna sacrifice the life of my engine for a few bucks but I still do like to save money lol

I am no expert by any means so when I got my V&H BR's, I got the screaming eagle tuner, and heavy breather, then had it tuned on the dyno. Runs like a bat out of hell. This was all recommentded by the HD dealer. Perhaps they saw a sucker walkin in the door. Not sure, but I know its done right and like I said, it runs like a bat out of hell, and also gets 55mpg.

I think that if you are going full stage 1 with air and exhaust you will want a tuner that can be adjusted on a dyno. I don't know anything about the fuel pak but I know most dyno tuners can work with the SERT, power commander tuners. I did my stage 1 and was running the canned map from fuelmoto and the bike ran great. No as lean or hot as before. Then I had it tuned on a dyno and it runs even better now. If your not going to do a bunch of work to the motor like cams, or head work you should be fine with a tuner like the fuel pak and the power commander V. On the other hand if you just go with the dealer ecm flash you will still be running on the lean side(EPA).

Okay I have it decided. I plan on doing more engine mods down the road, so that said, I think the power vision is my best course of action.

Talking

I'm doing a stage 1&2 with cams, using the SE Pro Super Tuner, with a DynoJet Tune when done. Installing V&H BR 2:2 also. This is on a Road King. If your gonna do more stuff later, at least consider the SE Pro Tuner, part # 32109-08B. You do not leave it plugged in taking up room under your seat like ALL the other tuners do. Also, I would highly recommend getting her dyno'd. Will run way better with proper tuning. Just sayin'.

Not ALL the other tuners. The PowerVision does not have to stay plugged in.. You flash your ECM and then remove it if you want to.

This is probably one of the most asked question in here..
Instead of typing it all out, I have saved this link for Newbies like U to read so U can learn about them.
In here U'll get answers all over the place..

As there is no best tuner, just what in U price range and needs.

So spend a little time reading this and U'll learn a lot.

Also here's some reading from the Tourning section

My mistake, I thought all the other tuners stayed under the seat or in the hardbags. Thanx for the correction!!
